Patrick, just tried accessing it locally and it worked, both on my machine and my proxy server machine. I've put both the config file and the error log on my ftp server http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~srm109/other/apache/error.log and http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~srm109/other/apache/httpd.conf the access log was empty until I accessed the http server locally. As for a virtual domain, I have no idea what that is. Anything beyond hardware and MS Paint is a mystery to me. Dan, the error log (link above) only states when the server started, restarted, stopped etc. Regards, Simon -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Donker [mailto:list@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 07 June 2005 12:26 To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Novice needs help Simon Maltby wrote: >Hi.

Have you made a virtual domain or just a plain one. Virtuals always are my fav because that way you have the complete site config in one handy <virtualdomain> block without wasting the original config. -Patrick --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
